‘Californication’, ‘Battle Creek’ Add To Casts

Tara Holt has joined the final season of Showtime’s Californication in a recurring role. In it, Hank (David Duchovny) is joining the writers room as his never-released film Santa Monica Cop now becomes a TV series. He’s riled frequently by his boss, the show’s old-school executive producer Rick Rath (recurring Michael Imperioli). Holt, repped by Nancy Chaidez & Associates and Untitled, will play Melanie, Rath’s gorgeous assistant whose presence causes a commotion in the writers room.

Damon Herriman (Justified) has been cast as a recurring in CBS’ drama series Battle Creek, from Vince Gilligan, David Shore, Sony TV and CBS Studios. It centers on Detective Russ Agnew (Dean Winters) and FBI agent Milton Bradley, who have very different worldviews but are teamed up to clean up the semi-mean streets of Battle Creek, MI. Herriman, repped by APA, Art/Work Entertainment and Australia’s Lisa Mann, plays Battle Creek Detective Niblet, a nice guy who looks up to Detective Funkhauser (Kal Penn) and embraces his style.

The last season of CALIFORNICATION. Yesssss! Should’ve happened 3 years ago.

No one is forcing you to watch it. An assumption would be, if you found it offensive three years ago, you stopped watching. So how would you know about the quality of the last three seasons? Unless you’ve been watching it. Which makes you a hypocrite, and a whiner.

I watched last season and hated it, and that doesn’t make me a hypocrite. I was hoping it would even out and show a little of that past edge, but it was terrible. I’ll probably start watching it again, hoping that knowing it’s the last season will give them some inspiration, but boy, if last season (and really the one before as well) is any indication, departure is way overdue. I frequently watch shows that I used to love even after they’ve grown mediocre. It doesn’t make me a hypocrite, just nostalgic and hopeful.

Great pickup on Herriman – he’s done a lot out of what could have been a very small role on Justified.

Californication hasn’t been good since the third season, and that’s being generous.
